He liked to play games like chess and Scrabble in his spare time. He was proudly cheap; he would go to extreme lengths to save a dollar here or there.

But then, after those two great memorable seasons, things began to wipe away. In 2007, Johnson never even reached the 600-yard-mark. And in 2008, he was about [...]
